Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ごみ箱に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年ごみの分別収集が行われており、このため、ごみ箱としてごみを分別して入れることができるように上下方向に複数のごみ容器を着脱可能に重ねて構成したごみ箱が例えば特開平８−６７３０１号公報などにより知られている。
【０００３】
ところが、上記の従来例にあっては、下段のごみ容器には上部に別体の連結蓋を着脱可能に取付け、この連結蓋の上面部に上方に向けて凸台部を突設し、この凸台部に、上段のごみ容器の下面部の外周に下方に向けて垂設した環状のスカート部をはめ込んでスカート部の下端部を連結蓋の上面の凸台部の周りの部分に載置するようになっていた。
【０００４】
上記のような従来例にあっては、上下段のごみ容器を直接積み重ねて連結するものではなく、上段のごみ容器に連結蓋を着脱可能に取付け、更に、この連結蓋に上段のごみ容器を着脱可能に積み重ねるようにしているため、積み重ねた際の安定性が悪いという問題があり、特に、多段に積み重ねた状態でごみ箱を移動する際に積み重ね状態が安定せず、移動しにくいという問題がある。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、上下段のごみ容器を簡単な構成で安定して積み重ねることができ、また、上段のごみ容器から下段のごみ容器に安定して荷重を支持することができ、更に、多段に積み重ねた状態で安定して移動することができるごみ箱を提供することを課題とするものである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明に係るごみ箱は、上下方向に２つのごみ容器５を着脱可能に重ねてごみ箱１を構成し、上段のごみ容器５ａの側面部の下端部に内側に引き込んだはめ込み用周段部１０を形成し、上面が内部と連通する開口となり且つ側面に内部に連通する側面開口部８を形成した下段のごみ容器５ｂの側面部の上端部の全周にわたって外側に張り出した被はめ込み用周段部１１を形成し、はめ込み用周段部１０を被はめ込み用周段部１１に着脱可能にはめ込んではめ込み用周段部１０の側面部１０ａを被はめ込み用周段部１１の側面部１１ａに接触させ、はめ込み用周段部１０の下端を被はめ込み用周段部１１の下段面部１１ｃに載置し且つ被はめ込み用周段部１１の上端にはめ込み用周段部１０の上段面部１０ｃを載置して成ることを特徴とするものである。このような構成とすることで、下段のごみ容器５ｂの上に上段のごみ容器５ａを直接はめ込みにより積み重ねることができ、また、上面が内部と連通する開口となり且つ側面に内部に連通する側面開口部８を形成した下段のごみ容器５ｂの側面部の上端部の全周にわたって外側に張り出した被はめ込み用周段部１１を形成しているので、図２、図８のように、下段のごみ容器５ｂに上段のごみ容器５ａを重ねた状態で、下段のごみ容器５ｂの側面開口部８から下段のごみ容器５内にごみを入れることができる。そして、はめ込み用周段部１０を、下段のごみ容器５ｂの側面部の上端部の全周にわたって外側に張り出して形成した被はめ込み用周段部１１に着脱可能にはめ込んではめ込み用周段部１０の側面部１０ａを被はめ込み用周段部１１の側面部１１ａに接触させ、はめ込み用周段部１０の下端を被はめ込み用周段部１１の下段面部１１ｃに載置し且つ被はめ込み用周段部１１の上端にはめ込み用周段部１０の上段面部１０ｃを載置することで、上下段のごみ容器５ａ、５ｂを安定して積み重ねることができると共に、上段のごみ容器５ａからの荷重を上段面部１０ｃとはめ込み用周段部１０の下端から、下段のごみ容器５ｂの上端部の全周にわたって形成した被はめ込み用周段部１１の上端と下段面部１１ｃに確実に伝えて支持できるものである。
【０００７】
また、はめ込み用周段部１０の側面部１０ａに外側方に突出する係止突部１０ｂを設け、被はめ込み用周段部１１の側面部１１ａに係止孔１１ｂを設け、係止突部１０ａを係止孔１１ｂに着脱可能に係止することが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、上下段のごみ容器５ｂ、５ｂの積み重ね状態を確実に保持できるものである。しかも、下段のごみ容器５ｂに係止孔１１ｂを設けるといえども、下段のごみ容器５ｂの上端部の被はめ込み用周段部１１に係止孔１１ｂを設けているので、下段のごみ容器５ｂに水分を含んだごみを収納したとしても係止孔１１ｂから漏れ出すというようなおそれがなく、一方、上段のごみ容器５ａの下端部のはめ込み用周段部１０には係止突部１０ａが設けてあるので、上段のごみ容器５ａに水分を含んだごみを収納したとしても上段のごみ容器５ａの下端部から水漏れが生じないものである。
【０００８】
また、下段のごみ容器５ｂの下面部にキャスター２を設けることが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、前述のように上下段のごみ容器５ｂ、５ｂを安定して積み重ね連結した状態で容易に移動できるものである。
【０００９】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基づいて説明する。
【００１０】
２つの合成樹脂製のごみ容器５を上下方向に着脱可能に重ねてごみ箱１を構成してある。上段のごみ容器５ａの側面上部に把手３を一体に突設し、下段のごみ容器５ｂの下面部に別体のキャスター２を取付けてある。
【００１１】
上段のごみ容器５ａの側面上部に設けた把手３は側面上部より側方に向けて突出している。この把手３の突出先端部は上方に向けて突出していてごみ袋引っ掛け部４となっている。つまり、突出先端部４は上方に向けて突出することで、把手本来の役目である手掛かり機能だけでなくポリ袋のようなごみ袋の開口縁部に設けた手下げ用帯輪を引っ掛け保持するための機能を有している。また、上段のごみ容器５ａの上開口部には開閉自在に蓋７が設けてある。ここで、図７に示すように上段のごみ容器５ａ内を縦仕切り板１２により２つのごみ入れ室に仕切り、各ごみ入れ室の上開口部をそれぞれ開閉する２つの蓋７を設けるようにしてもよく、この場合には上段のごみ容器５ａ内の２つのごみ入れ室内にごみを分別して入れることができるものである。
【００１２】
下段のごみ容器５は上面が開口し、更に側面に側面開口部８が設けてあり、図２に示すように側面開口部から直接ごみ容器５内にごみを入れたり、あるいは図８に示すように側面開口部８からごみ容器５内に内容器９を引き出し自在に収納し、内容器９を引き出して内部にごみを入れるようにしたりするものである。内容器９の側面上部に内容器用把手部９ａが設けてあって内容器用把手部９ａを手で掴んで内容器９を引き出したり、押し込んで収納したりするようになっている。
【００１３】
上段のごみ容器５の側面部の下端部は全周にわたって内側に引き込んだはめ込み用周段部１０となっており、下段のごみ容器５の側面部の上端部は図５に示すように全周にわたって外側に張り出した被はめ込み用周段部１１を設けてあり、ごみ容器５を上下に重ねる場合、上段のごみ容器５の下端部のはめ込み用周段部１０を下段のごみ容器５の上端部の被はめ込み用周段部１１にはめ込むことで上下に積み重ねるようになっており、この場合、図１、図３に示すように、はめ込み用周段部１０の側面部１０ａに設けた外側方に突出する係止突部１０ｂが被はめ込み用周段部１１の側面部１１ａに設けた係止孔１１ｂに係合されることで、はめ込み用周段部１０と被はめ込み用周段部１１との着脱可能なはめ込みに加えて係止突部１０ｂと係止孔１１ｂとの着脱可能な係止により上下段のごみ容器５を確実に連結することができる。また、はめ込み用周段部１０の側面部１０ａが被はめ込み用周段部１１の側面部１１ａに面接触状態で接触し、また、はめ込み用周段部１０の下端が被はめ込み用周段部１１の下段面部１１ｃに載置され且つ被はめ込み用周段部１１の上端にはめ込み用周段部１０の上段面部１０ｃが載置されるようになっており、これにより、上下段のごみ容器５ががたつくことなく積み重ねられ且つ上段のごみ容器５からの荷重を下段のごみ容器５で確実に支持することができるようにしてある。このように上下に確実にごみ容器５を積み重ね連結することで上段に設けた把手３に手を掛けてごみ箱１を移動させてもがたつきなく安定して移動できるものである。
【００１４】
上記実施形態でははめ込み用周段部１０の側面部１０ａが被はめ込み用周段部１１の側面部１１ａに面接触状態で接触した例を示したが、図９に示すように被はめ込み用周段部１１の側面部１１ａの内面に上下方向のリブ２０を設け、このリブ２０部分ではめ込み用周段部１０の側面部１０ａに線接触するようにしてもよい。この場合、リブ２０の上端部を傾斜面２０ａとすることで、はめ込み用周段部１０を被はめ込み用周段部１１に嵌め込む際に傾斜面２０ａがガイドとなって容易に嵌合できるものである。ここで、上記とは逆にはめ込み用周段部１０の側面部１０ａの外面に上下方向のリブを設けるとともに該リブの下端部に傾斜面を設け、リブ部分で被はめ込み用周段部１１の側面部１１ａに線接触するようにしてもよい。この場合も同様にはめ込み用周段部１０を被はめ込み用周段部１１に嵌め込む際にリブの傾斜面がガイドとなって容易に嵌合できるものである。
【００１５】
はめ込み用周段部１０と被はめ込み用周段部１１とをはめ込んだ状態で相互に係止するための係止手段である係止突部１０ｂと係止孔１１ｂとを設けるに当たって、はめ込み用周段部１０乃至被はめ込み用周段部１１ｂのいずれか一方に係止突部１０ｂを設け、いずれか他方に係止孔１１ｂを設ける。
【００１６】
ここで、添付図面に示すように、はめ込み用周段部１０と被はめ込み用周段部１１とをはめ込んだ状態で相互に係止するための係止手段である係止突部１０ｂと係止孔１１ｂとを設けるに当たって、はめ込み用周段部１０に係止突部１０ｂを設け、被はめ込み用周段部１１ｂに係止孔１１ｂを設けたものにおいては、以下のようなごみ箱１特有の効果がある。
【００１７】
すなわち、仮には上段のごみ容器５ａの下端部に設けたはめ込み用周段部１０に係止孔１１ｂを設けるとすると、上段のごみ容器５ａ内に水分を含んだごみが収納された際に上段のごみ容器５ａの下端部に設けた係止孔１１ｂから水分が漏れて好ましくないが、本発明のようにはめ込み用周段部１０に係止突起１０ｂを設けることで、このような上段のごみ容器５ａからの水漏れのおそれがなくなるものである。一方、被はめ込み用周段部１１は下段のごみ容器５ｂの上端部に設けてあるので、この部分に係止孔１１ｂを設けても下段のごみ容器５ｂから水漏れが生じてトラブルが発生するというようなことはない。
【００１８】
なお、ごみ容器５の上開口部にはごみ容器５内に入れる袋の上端部を止めるための袋止め部材１３が回動自在に取付けてある。
【００１９】
また、添付図面に示すように保管、搬送、陳列等において、下面部にキャスター２を有する下段のごみ容器５ｂを側面上部に把手３を有する上段のごみ容器５ａ内に出し入れ自在に収納できるような構成としてもよいものである。
【００２０】
図６にはその一例が示してあり、キャスター２付きの下段のごみ容器５ｂを上段のごみ容器５ａ内に収納した状態を示しており、下段のごみ容器５ｂを上段のごみ容器５ａ内に収納した状態で下段のごみ容器５ｂのキャスター２が上段のごみ容器５ａの内の底面に載置されるようになっている。このようにすることで保管、搬送、陳列等においてキャスター２が外部に露出して破損したりすることがなく、また、全体をコンパクトにできて保管、搬送、陳列等の場所を取らないものである。ここで、図６のようにキャスター２を含む下段のごみ容器５ｂの上下高さが上段のごみ容器５ａ内部の深さよりも短い長さとしておくと、完全にキャスター２付きの下段のごみ容器５ｂを上段のごみ容器５ａ内に収納できるものである。
【００２１】
しかして、上記のような構成のごみ箱１には種々の種類のごみを複数のごみ容器５に分別して収納するものである。ここで、ごみ箱１を移動するには把手３に手を掛けて引いたり、押したりしてキャスター２を転動させて移動させるものである。
【００２２】
なお、上記実施形態では下段のごみ容器５ｂの下面部にキャスター２を設けた例で説明したが、キャスター２を設けない場合であってもよい。この場合も、図１０に示すように下段のごみ容器５ｂを上段のごみ容器５ａ内に収納してコンパクト化できるものである。
【００２３】
また、上記のようにごみ箱１を移動させるために用いる把手３の突出先端部を外側方に向けて突出して形成したごみ袋引っ掛け部４にはポリ袋のようなごみ袋の開口縁部に設けた手下げ用帯輪を引っ掛けることができるものであり、このようにしてごみ箱１の上端部に引っ掛けたごみ袋内にはトレー、包装紙、包装フィルム等の重量の軽いごみを入れることができるものであり、これにより必要に応じてごみの分別の種類を増やしたい場合や、軽いごみをごみ箱１部分において一箇所に集めて簡易に収納したい場合等簡単に対応することができ、このようにごみ箱１とは別のごみ袋にごみを収納する場合もごみ袋をごみ箱１の把手３を利用して引っ掛けてごみ箱１部分で一元的にごみを管理できるものである。
【００２４】
【発明の効果】
上記のように本発明の請求項１記載の発明にあっては、上段のごみ容器の側面部の下端部に内側に引き込んだはめ込み用周段部を形成し、上面が内部と連通する開口となり且つ側面に内部に連通する側面開口部を形成した下段のごみ容器の側面部の上端部の全周にわたって外側に張り出した被はめ込み用周段部を形成し、はめ込み用周段部を被はめ込み用周段部に着脱可能にはめ込んではめ込み用周段部の側面部を被はめ込み用周段部の側面部に接触させ、はめ込み用周段部の下端を被はめ込み用周段部の下段面部に載置し且つ被はめ込み用周段部の上端にはめ込み用周段部の上段面部を載置してあるので、下段のごみ容器に上段のごみ容器を重ねた状態で、下段のごみ容器の側面開口部から下段のごみ容器内にごみを入れることができ、しかも、上下段のごみ容器を直接がたつきなく安定して連結できると共に、上段のごみ容器からの荷重を上段面部とはめ込み用周段部の下端から、下段のごみ容器の上端部の全周にわたって形成した被はめ込み用周段部の上端と下段面部に安定して伝達できるものである。
【００２５】
また、請求項２記載の発明にあっては、上記請求項１記載の発明の効果に加えて、はめ込み用周段部の側面部に外側方に突出する係止突部を設け、被はめ込み用周段部の側面部に係止孔を設け、係止突部を係止孔に着脱可能に係止してあるので、上下段のごみ容器を直接積み重ねた状態における連結が係止という簡単な構成でより確実となるものであり、しかも、係止のために係止孔を設けたといえども、ごみ容器内に水分を含んだごみが収納されても係止孔から水漏れするというような事態が生じないものである。
【００２６】
また、請求項３記載の発明にあっては、上記請求項１又は請求項２記載の発明の効果に加えて、下段のごみ容器の下面部にキャスターを設けてあるので、上記のように上下段のごみ容器を直接安連結した状態で軽い力でスムーズに安定した積み重ね状態を保持したまま移動できるものである。

In this state, the caster 2 of the lower garbage container 5b is placed on the bottom surface of the upper garbage container 5a. In this way, the caster 2 is not exposed and damaged during storage, transportation, display, etc., and the whole can be made compact and does not take up space for storage, transportation, display, etc. is there. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, if the vertical height of the lower garbage container 5 b including the casters 2 is set to be shorter than the depth inside the upper garbage container 5 a, the lower garbage container 5 b with the casters 2 is completely provided. Can be stored in the upper garbage container 5a.
[0021]
Therefore, various types of garbage are sorted into a plurality of garbage containers 5 and stored in the garbage box 1 configured as described above. Here, in order to move the trash box 1, the caster 2 is rolled by moving the handle 3 by pulling or pushing the handle 3.
[0022]
In the embodiment described above, the caster 2 is provided on the lower surface portion of the lower garbage container 5b. However, the caster 2 may not be provided. Also in this case, as shown in FIG. 10 , the lower trash container 5b can be accommodated in the upper trash container 5a to be compact.
[0023]
Further, the garbage bag hooking portion 4 formed by projecting the protruding tip portion of the handle 3 used to move the garbage box 1 to the outside as described above is provided at the opening edge of the garbage bag such as a plastic bag. A hand strap that can be hung on the upper side of the recycle bin 1 in this manner, so that light waste such as trays, wrapping paper, and wrapping film can be placed in the waste bag. This makes it possible to easily handle cases such as when you want to increase the number of types of garbage as needed, or when you want to store light garbage in one place in a single waste bin and store it easily. Even when storing garbage in a separate garbage bag from 1, the garbage bag can be hooked using the handle 3 of the garbage box 1 and the garbage can be managed centrally in the garbage box 1 part.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the first aspect of the present invention, the peripheral step portion for fitting is formed at the lower end portion of the side surface portion of the upper garbage container, and the upper surface is an opening communicating with the inside. In addition, a circumferential step portion to be fitted over the entire circumference of the upper end portion of the side portion of the lower trash container having a side opening communicating with the inside is formed on the side surface, and the fitting circumferential step portion is to be fitted. The side surface of the fitting step is brought into contact with the side of the fitting step, and the lower end of the fitting step is placed on the lower step of the fitting step. Since the upper surface of the peripheral step for fitting is placed on the upper end of the peripheral step for fitting, the side opening of the lower waste container is placed with the upper waste container overlaid on the lower waste container. You can put garbage into the lower garbage container from the Also, both the dust container upper and lower direct can be stably connected without rattling, the load from the upper waste container from the lower end of the upper surface portion and-engaging circumferential step portion, the upper end of the lower bin full It can be stably transmitted to the upper end and the lower step surface portion of the fitting peripheral step portion formed over the circumference .
[0025]
In addition, in the invention described in claim 2, in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1, a locking projection that protrudes outward is provided on the side surface of the fitting peripheral step, and the fitting is used. Since a locking hole is provided in the side surface of the circumferential step portion and the locking projection is detachably locked to the locking hole, the connection in the state where the upper and lower garbage containers are directly stacked is simply locked. The structure is more reliable, and even if a locking hole is provided for locking, even if waste containing moisture is stored in the garbage container, water leaks from the locking hole. Things don't happen.
[0026]
Further, in the invention described in claim 3, in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1 or claim 2, a caster is provided on the lower surface portion of the lower trash container. It is possible to move while keeping a stable and stable stacked state with a light force in a state where the lower trash containers are directly connected to each other.
